We had an AWESOME Chinese supper last night. Mom made us steamed chicken bits with rice and shredded spinach. We wanted it BEFORE they ate, but we had to wait.
Mom and Alex had homemade Pho soup with shredded chicken, rice noodles, peas, and spinach. They had lime wedges, but Mom found this terrific lime infused vinegar and it took the soup to new heights. She also made stir fried chicken breast with asparagus, water chestnuts, onions and peas (Mom could not get pea pods). She made a terrific sauce using gluten free hosin sauce, fish sauce, grated ginger, garlic, and horseradish. Alex said it was super tasty. We thought ours was too and we ate a lot too. Especially Jo Jo. Alex got a terrific shot of Jo Jo sleeping it off on the sofa.
Mom thought she looked like a Putti (those little angels that look like Cupid)...and that she would make a terrific Spark in preparation for Valentines Day!
So our AWESOME this week is also our SPARK!
McGuffy’s who was hosting the Sparks is on hiatus, We are going to keeps posting them anyway! She says “I truly do believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. There is hope. Together, we can light up the entire world!”

ReplyDeleteSounds like your mom has the culinary bug going. Enjoy all the delicious dishes!
ReplyDeleteSigh...Sometimes Mom forgets this is NOT her food blog and goes all foodie on us.
DeleteYour meal sounds delicious and JoJo sure looks happy! Love the spark and JoJo as cupid!
ReplyDeleteWow, someone(s) there sure are five star chefs. Now, with much embarrassment we go back to yesterdays post to comment (and explain why we did not comment yesterday ...). Oh, JoJo you sure look full-bellied content!
ReplyDeletePrincess Jo Jo, your Chinese dinner must have been delightful. There you are letting your mom take a photo of your full belly with your eyes closed. I bet you're still dreaming of that wonderful plate of food. And I can certainly see you being a cupid angel. Just don't fly too far from home are you won't get another meal like that.
ReplyDeleteThat sounded delicious dude! Wishing mew a furbulous week!
ReplyDeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteCrikey - even as a vegetarian, the sound of that food prep had my tummy rumbling. (Though that may be do with the fact I haven't had lunch yet!) And JoJo is the pawfect heart angel! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx

That dinner sounds like it was super tasty. We love JoJo as an angel.
ReplyDeleteOf course you look like an angel, because you are one!
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "Jo Jo! Such a fluffy belly! Our Dada wants to snorgle it!"
ReplyDeleteThat dinner sounds delicious! I'd almost rather stick pins in my eyes than cook or do any food prep, so I envy those who enjoy it and who are good at it!
ReplyDeleteI want to snorgle Jo Jo's tummy too!
Kim and her angels
